Red fox?

Only saw a few reds go on the block while I was there watching,
and I was distracted each time, so I never did hear any prices on them.

I would suspect probably in the low teens, but can't say for certain.

My sincere apologies but it's probably Trump's Fault !!!

What is the selling commission for Herkimer?

I think it is 8%,

Plus you have to be a member of Fulton-Montgomery,
or Foothills trappers, or NYSTA to sell at Herkimer.
